That’s part of why I don’t want any one agency running the lab, and why I also make sure the story makes it into all the press outlets.
Big Pharma would off them.
Then you have to make a BIG first impression before they can get to you…which will happen long before you get any outside agencies to support you. Who could you very publicly heal that would make the biggest impression?
How on earth did a70s show with Christopher George and Carol Lynley not succeed. Must’ve been terrible writing.
For efficiency in curing mental disabilities and in order to get the biggest bang for the buck, this individual should attend the next Trump rally and shake the man’s hand. Afterward, visit Congress.
Then none of the citizens are going to get bupkis.
There is one and only one nation that has given up their nukes, and currently they’re being bombed and war-crimed. Aside from the powerful not wanting to give up power, being healed last year won’t help you much if you’re being bombed today.
Nope. Big Pharma would charge for access.
I wasn’t aware that South Africa was being bombed.
No, but Ukraine is.
I think there are two more questions i need answered. Can it work without my willing it to? If someone put me in a tiny cage and placed my hand on another person, would they be healed? Or do i have to want to heal them? If the latter, then i have some agency in this.
The second is, does the person have to want to be healed? And which of us decides what “healed” means?
If i can go about shaking the hands of powerful people, healing their “warrior genes” and restoring their empathy, then that’s my new hobby. I want to shake the hands of as many politicians, corporate board members, and political donors as possible.
I want to get to as many as possible as fast as possible before anyone makes the connection. Once they start avoiding me then i go on a tour of the children’s hospitals.
Come to think of it. Can i heal integrity? If so i start with the US Supreme Court justices.
That’s not a dig, i do honestly believe that right now that’s the best “bang for the buck” in the USA today. But it goes back to who decides what “healed” means. I think several of them are mentally ill and probably genetically lacking in empathy. I’d like to heal that for them. But i’m pretty sure they would tell us that they do not need to be healed of anything.
Heal any and all comers in strict order of FC,FS on Tues and Thurs, 9-5. Paying customers, in order of fee paid upfront in cash, on Wednesdays.
And make it known that anyone who bugs me for healing any other day of the week, or my annual month-of-December+New Year holiday, goes on a do-not-heal-ever list.
Travel around the world on a publicized schedule, spending a month in a different major city on each continent in rotation. Cities can pay a (substantial) fee to be next on the list.
It’s astonishing what nonsense the brain sometimes remembers.
I posited that airports are already set up to intake/output huge numbers of people every day, so if you were after sheer quantity, the infrastructure is available.
This was basically where I got to, but I think you do have to go to the hospitals/hospices during your working hours. It’s a lot easier to move the healer to the sick than the other way round.
I reckon even with a massive hospital - especially one that was prepped for the occasion - you could jog/segway round everyone in half a day. Especially if you only the do the ones with a less than N% chance of normal health with modern medicine. N probably = 50% but that can be worked out empirically.
My main question is whether you can ever get to the point where you are “winning”. If you can heal people quickly enough, especially of permanent conditions, can you actually make a permanent reduction in teh number of sick people? Obviously there’s potential to eliminate various infectious diseases a la smallpox and (almost) polio if you can heal people faster than they get infected. But I suspect this is way too ambitious.
Q for @Cmyers1980 - if our healer cures someone with a genetic condition - e.g Huntingdon’s - do they simply cure the effects or do they cure the genetic flaw. That is, would the cured person be able pass on their condition or have you prevented that too?
In fact, you’re of most value as a pandemic buster, aren’t you? As soon as the alert goes out, you jet over, lay hands on everyone plausibly in contact and get it sorted before it starts. I feel this is a service for which one could be well reimbursed.
Almost everyone in an airport can walk under their own steam though. The people we want to cure are in wheelchairs at best, many/most can’t leave a hospital bed for any length of time and some are in specialised units (e.g. NICU).
Hospitals aren’t exactly set up for the kind of numbers that 1 healing a second is going to generate. I think more likely that cities are going to set up dedicated venues for it (similar to Covid vaccine centres).
Moving from one hospital to the next is going to cut into healing time. Hell, just moving from floor to floor in one hospital will do that. Me staying in one place seems more optimal. With patients going by on a luggage conveyor belt, if that speeds things up
For the first what, few thousand? I mean, a city like NY has only a few thousand ICU beds.
After that, it’s going to be people who can be moved without hassle, not ICU patients on machines that go Ping!. If those people want healing, they can damn well move.
And even most ICU patients can be moved. They move them for tests and the like all the time. Nothing in the setup says they can’t just be wheeled past in their bed with associated drips/machinery etc. And even if they can’t leave specialized units for any length of time, that’s a before I touch them condition only. So get them to my venue and afterwards won’t matter.
I doubt it. Too many people in the world, I think.
Ha! But I think if you’re approaching it in the spirit of “How can one person touch the maximum number of people in a given amount of time?” then a set up like that is basically what’s needed.
You need a building with enormous floor space - some sort of convention centre or airport hanger I guess - in which, before you arrive, everyone is arranged in some sort of optimal layout so that you can pass by them - or vice versa - at a rate of one person per second.
Thinking about it, you have two hands so you can of course touch two people at a time. So a double line of people, you stand at the exit hands outstretched and as they receive your healing touch they walk out into the sunset.
We’re assuming that the healing doesn’t physically drain you etc. But even standing with your arms out for 8 hours will be a killer so actually a comfy chair with plump armrests is what you want. Arguably, you could literally do it in your sleep.
8 hours @ 2 people per second is 57K. Allowing for comfort and lunch breaks, let’s say 50K per day. That isn’t going to put a big dent in the number of the world’s sick, but it’s not nothing.
I’m picturing a city getting ready for your arrival, and arranging the sick in a big convention center or the like in Ikea-style aisles, so you can walk the winding path through the building and high-five everyone in turn.
Doing two people per second, whoever you have handling payment will quickly be overwhelmed.
So not Ticketmaster, then…
In my setup, the public ones are free, and as fast as possible - although I would not keep it at 1/second. That’s too fast. I think 10-15 sec. per person is a more humane speed.
The paying customers will probably want a couple minutes each.
Ahhh, you are far more compassionate than am I. My time has value and I would want that recognized.
